Talkback: Crude Jokes announcement - General Tiki

When I get complaints that the forum is becoming awkward/uncomfortable/insulting to read, I don't take it lightly. Jab, I get your point with the "subject line" warning, but it's not the pictures themselves that get the complaints, it's the comments after them ... I've seen posts where someone makes a sex joke or boob joke, then a few legit replies are made, then someone says "I'm still thinking about the sex joke" and then someone tries to one-up that joke, then a bunch of me-too posts jump in. Look at the replies in the "poor puppy" post in Beyond to see what I mean. When it was just limited to the occasional topless pic thread, I never recieved a complaint. This isn't about quashing sexiness, flitation, or innuendo ... it's about understanding where the line is drawn, in both quantity and crudeness. Specifically with the goal of making members of the opposite sex not feel awkward, degraded, or unwelcome. ~Hanford [ Edited by: hanford_lemoore on 2003-12-12 14:39 ]
